General laboratory tests and hematology
This category includes essential laboratory tests for assessing overall health, detecting anemia, infections, inflammatory processes, and hematological disorders. Hematological tests provide information about blood composition and the functioning of the body.
The following tests are performed in the department:
- Complete blood count with leukocyte formula
- ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate)
- Reticulocytes
- Ferritin
- Serum iron
- Transferrin
- Vitamin B12
- Folic acid
- Lactate dehydrogenase
- General urine analysis
- Urinary sediment microscopy
- Coproparasitological examination (feces)
- Prostatic secretion examination
- Detection of gonococci and trichomonads in smears
Recommendations for patient preparation:
- It is recommended to have blood collected in the morning on an empty stomach. The last meal should be taken at least 10 hours before the tests. If breakfast is allowed, the last meal should be taken at least 1 hour before blood collection. Breakfast should be light and may include unsweetened tea, porridge without sugar, butter, or milk, and an apple.
- Refrain from smoking for at least 1 hour before blood collection.
- It is recommended that blood be collected between 8 a.m. and 12 a.m. If blood is collected at another time of day, this will be indicated in the referral for investigation.
- The repeated investigation will be performed at the same time, because blood composition is subject to diurnal variation.
- Blood collection should be performed before diagnostic and therapeutic procedures such as X-ray examinations, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound examinations, and other procedures that may affect test results.
- If you had to consume an unusually large amount of fluids in the morning for an ultrasound examination, laboratory tests should not be performed on that day.
- Blood collection is not recommended after significant physical or mental exertion, after taking any medications, especially following intravenous or intramuscular administration, or after physiotherapy procedures.
